About The Artwork

In each of us forever remains a part of a small child who is afraid of things that he does not know or is testing for the first time. Not because these things would be scary, but because he does not know their consequences for him. An adult is actually in some aspects still a small child hidden in a big body that is afraid to admit himself that he is afraid of seemingly trivial things, and therefore surrounds himself by the putative certainties hoping that his fear will not be so great or will not be seen. Small child feels safer in an unknown water when he is wearing an inflatable ring and he knows that he can grab branches if needed, without realizing that the ring can crack and a branch can break. An adult man had tasted many times that naive trust can end with the pain and bad experiences, but he continually saves the fragile “branches” and surrounds himself by the fragile “rings” to create an imaginary safe environment. Symbolic expression, a little exaggeration, and in them hidden a little fear that we all know. But big black glasses do not banish the feeling of uncertainty, a large house does not make a large man, a great car does not protect us from an accident, accumulation of things does not protect us from the feeling of loneliness.
